@ED_P
Your config should work with modified kiosk ISO.
@jk9
We care about loading kernel and ramdisk only while preserving 'quiet' parameter so this config should be ok:
Code: Select all
set ISOx=Porteus-Kiosk-3.7.0-i586.iso
title Kiosk \n\n %ISOx%
find --set-root /ISOs/%ISOx%
map --heads=0 --sectors-per-track=0 /ISOs/%ISOx% (0xff)
map --hook
root (0xff)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz quiet
initrd /boot/initrd.xz
You may need to modify it to match your ISO name and folder in which its stored on your hd.

Success!
This is what my usb stick looks like:
And my Grub4Dos' menu entry:
Code: Select all
title Kiosk \n\n /kiosk.iso
find --set-root /kiosk.iso
map --heads=0 --sectors-per-track=0 /kiosk.iso (0xff)
map --hook
root (0xff)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz quiet
initrd /boot/initrd.xz
Thank you very much for your help and patience lads, particularly to

I'm confused. The thread's title is for booting the ISO on the hard drive, dd is copying/converting the ISO to a flash drive. Do the ISO rebuild steps work for Kiosk ISOs on a hdd? Does the ISO boot on the flash drive because it is FAT32 rather than NTFS?

Yes, you're right. It "was" originally about starting Kiosk from a HHD. However, that's not what I am trying to do. I just want to boot Kiosk (the one generated by the wizard) off a usb stick.

this, and it works actually.
You "dd" Kiosk.iso to a partition on a FAT32 formatted usb stick (created with
Bootice as I'm mainly on Windows)
As for applying the lot as instructed on here (regarding my case) to a NTFS formatted HDD, I can't tell really as I haven't given it a try to be quite honest.
